Six design stories offer a diverse look at design tracing the history and processes of contemporary design. The show includes furniture, product, fashion, transport and architecture alongside a selection of prototypes, models and specially commissioned films.

The exhibition will be on permanent display until 2015, with some elements being changed every year. Preview selected objects in the collection by downloading the Design Museum Collection App for iPad, free from iTunes.

The Design Museum has the UK's only collection devoted exclusively to modern and contemporary design and architecture.
